Exactly. Chernobyl is FUD. All current reactors are different design and cannot be compared to Chernobyl. Nuclear is one of the safest way to produce a large quantity of energy. There is no clean energy, harvesting and transforming energy takes materials and generates stuff that we don't want.

Talking about bad perception, fear of radioactivity is also disproportionate. It might be because it is not something we can really feel with our senses, and so it has this magic/unknown aura. People working in nuclear power plant receive less than radiologist technicians, dentists, or fly attendants. Which probably means that the safety might be too high. We should be able to drop from few notches. If coal was the agreed standard of death/TWH then nuclear could kill 800 times more per TWH. The public safety standards for coal and oil is well accepted. No one when building a multi GWH coal power plant screamed for the caused deaths. An yet, with nuclear kill 800 times less, it is always seen as something that will wipe the neighborhood. It is irrational. It might be because of the bomb of the same name. Even though they are totally different designs (nuclear power plant do not detonate large amount of explosive to start a reaction).

It is fine to be cautious, but we have to stay rational. We should not diminish the risk of radioactivity, but current nuclear power plant designs are safer, and when they fail (even when a tsunami hits it) it does not kill as many people (source: https://world-nuclear.org/information-library/safety-and-sec... https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/backstories/2324/)

It wasn't the cold air itself so much as the fact that I had to handle metal doors and racks to get to the cardboard boxes holding the sample vials. I didn't touch any one thing for longer than a few seconds but I guess even if you only spend a couple minutes doing that, cumulatively it added up.

Since I'm off microbe duty for the weekend I started to play science with the rest of the fingers on my right hand, comparing what does better healing - antibiotic ointment, petroleum jelly, or "liquid bandage".

Although the US (allegedly) no longer operates them, they (and Russia and China) have used extremely low frequency communications stations spread out over miles to communicate with submerged submarines. Tensions are much lower now so submarines can take the risk of surfacing for communications checkins but I'm sure that the ELF stations could be recomissioned fairly quickly if the need arose

To an unskilled observer, it sure must appear that in most countries, doing literally anything on a scale greater than a moderately-sized industrial hall is bound to be shut down by an unspoken alliance of bureaucrats, tree-huggers, and various public-private partnership agencies that want to get in on the money.
It's also very difficult to estimate true cost of solar at a massive scale.

Most/all solar panels that exist currently can not be recycled in a way that makes ecological or economical sense. Their operational lifetime is NOT "sustainable", nor is their economical lifetime.

Then there's death's per kWh, required energy storage (with its own ecological and economical issues), mining, transportation, CO2 per kWh, etc etc.

IMO nuclear is a pretty clear winner (as a continious energy source), but it's a complex analysis where important details are easily missed.

Forced arbitration reduced your options. You can agree to arbitration if both parties desire it when a dispute arises.

One of the biggest consumer protections that a forced arbitration clause can kill is a class action lawsuit. If a corporation harms each consumer for $.30, there’s no real way to bring an individualized case over that. A class action is a viable option to hold the corporation to account.
A lot of the folks working in these bigger tech companies didn't grow up this way. A lot of them grew up in wealthy families, lived in wealthy neighborhoods, were pushed into an elite tech career by their parents, went to elite pre-university schooling, elite universities, etc and have never had to feel monetary scarcity. Just look at HN comments and see how many 3rd generation programmers there are. As an adult with savings working at bigger tech companies and never having experienced hardship or poverty as a child, the prospect of following your dream feels alluring.

I grew up in poverty myself but my partner and many of my friends at bigger tech companies grew up the way I discussed earlier. Most of them were pushed through their parents' social circles into a tech career and never were wanting for money. They feel the grind inherent to being paid for your time as opposed to volunteering your time and think of it as an injustice. My partner and friends complain constantly about tech and their jobs but other than a handful who briefly worked service jobs in their teens, they have nothing to compare it to. I spent my summers as a teen moving heavy boxes/furniture, often in 100F+ hot weather, and being paid in cash (hoping to become a cabinetmaker!) barely making ends meet and I know what it's like to keep a job a job.

I left Big Tech (I had joined it as a startup and ended up staying much longer than I expected) so I understand the complaints about heavily bureaucratic jobs where most of your time is spent coordinating rather than building, and while I'm always unhappy at something or the other with my job, I know how good I have it. I do a job that I don't hate, working with generally smart people, alternating between a cushy office and my home where outside of my work I mostly just complain about minor office perks. It's fantastic.
I don't think he's making it more difficult. How is automatic "more difficult" than manually typing in your city?
Avoiding a large part of society isn't a practical response.

Besides, many may not know of the forced arbitration, despite it negatively impacting them. People are famously bad at these coordination problems.
> No, it isn't, because nobody will buy chairs from a company that does that. In a free market, no company can use the get out of jail free card of "but I was following all the regulations". Businesses have to actually meet customer needs.

Meeting customer needs is optional, what businesses might decide to do instead is change their name once a week on amazon/ebay, hire teams of robots to fake reviews, and then deceive customers into buying doll house furniture at full size prices.

It seems unlikely you are unaware of this type of behavior, so I guess you have an explanation for how an unregulated market in a modern context is supposed to deal with bad actors?

It's an old DeWalt from 2013 (!) - DCD995. I'd expect most of the high end brushless drills from the major tool manufactures to have this feature now, though. Check the manual for something like "electronic clutch" if you're looking at a model and not sure.
Wow, the first two things I thought of after reading the first few lines of that article were:

- the Peter Principle (as a loosely related concept)

and

- that the new MS diktats would immediately be gamed.

What was my surprise when I saw both those concepts mentioned in the See Also section!

I did not know about most of the other See Also points, though, except for Confirmation bias, which I had read about on Hacker News, and the Hawthorne Effect, which I had read about elsewhere, IIRC, in a Dale Carnegie or similar self-help book.
That makes sense, thanks for the context. Though, I’ve been a part of maybe 10 class actions in my life so far, and all of them amounted to less than $50 each. I suppose they are more effectively punitive to the corp than compensatory to the aggrieved.
Not only that but also lobby the government to start more wars so there’s a need for their product.

>Carbon taxes can't be a cash grab if they're revenue neutral which is easy to do: just evenly split by each taxpayer+dependents and send it back as a tax credit. In fact, that's exactly how it's done right now in many places that implement it.

Tax credits are a scam too. I'd rather have everyone pay a reasonable low tax for this purpose than favor some people and uses over others. The market will probably sort that out if you let it.

Most of our oxygen comes from algae, so it's not crazy. But I'd prioritize other things first, probably.

The average coal power plant kills a few dozen people a year in normal operation with first world safety standards.

> Science welcomes well thought out analytical or experimental challenges. Not criticism without merit, contrariness based in ignorance of the subject, ideological attacks, or simple negativity - all those just waste time.

> Think informed critique, not just any "criticism".

a) Please state unambiguously (Yes/No) whether you consider my criticism valid, or whether it falls into your "other" category.

b) Who decides what qualifies as valid, and is that done in a non-biased, non-ideological manner?

c) By what means did you come into possession of knowledge of the entirety of what all scientists do, and how they do it? (Here I am presuming that you consider scientists to be a part of science....and if you don't, I would then wonder how things like "Science welcomes" is implemented).

Please reveal the source of your omniscient knowledge. The supernatural is certainly allowed, but I've been led to believe that science folks "don't" believe in the supernatural.

> In stark contrast, Scriptures claim to be the stable truth without need for justification. Scriptures often frame "doubt" as undesirable, and their authority as above evidence. Unbelievers are often cast as morally compromised. Religions are rarely known for encouraging the discovery and sharing of contra-evidence, or the search for alternate and better viewpoints.

I'd say this is at least "mostly true".

> Very different.

True - but do you also know this much less famous part: they are also very similar, simultaneously.

> Not sure what the cake and eating it too is? Science for being hypocritical like religion? (Not my view, but trying to understand yours.)

Bullseye. Scientific ~believers/followers are indeed hypocritical, like religious people[1], and in many ways even above and beyond religious people (in that: if one has superior especially in specific ways scriptures, as science does imho, then violations of them are more egregious, in certain dimensions).

Not reading the thing you’re agreeing to is not an excuse. Otherwise it’d be an out for any contract.

Doing this with a treadmill is honestly a gamechanger if you can't or don't want to do cardio outside (e.g., safety issues, heat, bad weather, etc.)

Even just walking on an incline can get your heart rate into the right zone so you get cardiovascular benefits while being so low in fatigue that you can get a lot of volume in.

Eventually your fitness will increase such that you'll run out of incline and speeds you can walk and you'll have to jog to stay in the zone.
Israel paid Hamas through Qatar according to NYT: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/10/world/middleeast/israel-q...
I'm not sure what specifically you're objecting to. I've also made other arguments and corrections.

Also what are you wanting me to say? That we can't tell the result of elections we haven't had? Or are you pointing to other reasons why the Palestinians haven't had elections?

I don't think taking this back reduces the strength of my argument. If you want me to delete that comment from the protocol I'm happy to. EDIT: I made some amendments to my commentary there and put in some more references.

EDIT2: since you're calling me out I want to circle back to your comment that triggered my response:
"A supermajority of Gazans are simply not old enough ever to have voted, since Hamas slaughtered PA members to "win" the 2006 election"

as I said Hamas didn't slaughter the PA members to win. It won and then it slaughtered the Fatah people in Gaza.

Hamas won the 2006 elections: "The Central Elections Commission released the final results on Sunday, 29 January 2006, and announced that Change and Reform (Hamas) had won 74 of the 132 seats, while Fatah trailed with 45". The popular vote is not the factor here (though it also got more votes than Fatah).

I'm not sure why the point about the majority of Gazans today haven't voted in 2006 matters. It's a factual piece of data but I'm not sure it's relevant. Do we have any evidence to support those people are more likely to be in favour of peaceful coexistence with Israel and/or be opposed to Hamas? Is there an "opposition" in Gaza? It's clearly not a free or functioning democracy, I'll grant that. So if your point is that Gazans are oppressed by Hamas and don't enjoy democracy or other freedoms that's fair.

Nice article! I've also rolled some of my own bigint code recently (for earlier versions of [0]), and I can recall how frustrating it was to translate high-level descriptions in math papers into actual operations.

I do have a small quibble, though:

> At this point, the BigInt is using base-(2^64-1) or base-18446744073709551615 and it only needs 16 "digits" to represent a number that uses 309 digits in base-10!

If you use the full range of a u64, then your number will be in base 2^64, with each word ranging from 0 to 2^64-1, in the same way that base-10 digits range from 0 to 9.

Interesting, didn't know that. Maybe I should file an issue with the official WireGuard app asking them to support this. It would be nice if "multiple VPNs" was provided as an OS feature.

This only applies to rules intended for specific apps and not system-wide rules, no? I'd hope so, since as you said people are already applying system-wide (or at least user-wide) rules using the VPN interface.
